From the space plan, through the concept of the interior design, to the finishing works – this is how Tétris – the leader of the fit-out market in Poland – conducts a comprehensive project implementation in the Design x Build model. The Warsaw headquarters of 7R, a company specializing in providing modern and environmentally friendly warehouse and production facilities, has been completed following this model. In the Metropolitan office building, at Piłsudskiego Square 3 in Warsaw, a space that reflects the company's nature was created – trendy and ecological in all aspects. The project also corresponds with the style of the building itself – full of irregular shapes and glazing.
Human-centered design
In the first stage of our cooperation, we visited 7R headquarter in Kraków. We learned about the style that dominates inside the organization and how the work of its teams is organized. It turned out that the company’s employees do not only cooperate in the professional field but also often spend their free time together. Based on the discussions with the management team, we were able to create a personalized space plan for all of them.

When creating 7R's new Warsaw office, we aimed to combine functionality with modern and friendly design. Part of the arrangement was suggested by the employees. Thanks to the involvement of all parties and successful cooperation with Tétris, we have a perfectly planned space that supports creativity and teamwork.

The devil is in the details
Highlights of the project include wooden lamella ceilings and decorative structural plaster used throughout the office, which allowed us to emphasize the high quality of this space. A large number of glazings allowed us to achieve the effect of lightness and spaciousness. The installation of all the elements required great precision, good planning, fitting, and above all – experience.

The visual aspects were not the only element that mattered in the process of designing 7R’s new office. The employees' well-being, general comfort, and health were high among the client's priorities on the agenda. We have precisely selected lighting to meet the needs of employees and verified its suitability with advanced measurements. Similarly, equipment, such as ergonomic seats and electrically raised desks for all employees, were selected according to specific people and their preferences or health requirements.

Design x Build model benefits
Executing office fit-out, or any other project, from concept, interior design, to completion makes it much easier for us to maintain synergy between teams. While preparing the design, we discuss the next stages of construction work and the materials we use, which helps avoid mistakes. The space is immediately well-thought-out in terms of its final appearance and functionality, which translates into the lack of time-consuming and, above all, costly modifications in the finishing process.
